Hot trends: chokers & black perfumes

The choker is having a major moment, having shown up on many fall runways, including Ralph Lauren and Yves Saint Laurent. Worn high on the neck (in a nod to ’90s style) or just grazing the collar bone (a more of-the-moment interpretation), there is an abundance of lengths and styles to choose from. It’s also one of the easiest accessories to add to your fall shopping list, whether you’re looking for a show-stopping embellished look for night or a sleek adornment for day.

Black perfume? The latest scents to savor for fall are dark and
mysterious
Lady Gaga Fame
Lady Gaga’s black beauty features juice that’s actually black in the (clawed) bottle, then sprays on clear. It’s a surprisingly sweet scent that will appeal to her fans — not as dark and dirty as she’d warned us.
